MRI

I'm hoping that although it hurts BIG time, this isn't much of anything? Still have a week until I see ortho doctor.

FINDINGS:

MENISCI: Degeneration medial meniscus with suggested subtle minimal superior surface degenerative tearing involving the posterior horn medial meniscus with suggested tear extension to the body segment.

The lateral meniscus appears intact.

ACL: Normal.

PCL: Normal.

MCL: MCL fibers are continuous and of normal thickness and signal intensity. Mild edema superficial to the middle to distal third MCL

LCL: Normal.

POSTEROLATERAL CORNER: Normal.

FEMUR, TIBIA, FIBULA, PATELLA: No fracture, dislocation or erosions.

MEDIAL COMPARTMENT: Suggestion of primarily grade 2 cartilage thinning middle subgroup medial femoral condyle. No significant reactive subchondral marrow edema. No prominent osteophytosisLATERAL COMPARTMENT: No significant reactive subchondral marrow edema or osteophytosis.

PATELLOFEMORAL JOINT: No significant advanced chondromalacia

PROXIMAL TIBIOFIBULAR JOINT: Well preserved.

TENDONS: No acute tendon rupture

JOINT EFFUSION: Small effusion

OTHER SOFT TISSUES: Nonspecific Soft tissue swelling with mild to moderate anterior knee subcutaneous edema most prominently.

IMPRESSION:

1. Question recent or subacute grade 1 MCL sprain with mild edema-type changes adjacent to the middle to distal third MCL.
2. Degeneration with suggested minimal degenerative tearing posterior horn medial meniscus with suggested tear extension to the body segment
3. Intact ACL and PCL.
4. Small effusion.
5. Nonspecific mild to moderate subcutaneous edema
6. Minor medial compartment degenerative arthritis
